(AP) LEOMINSTER, Mass. A 500-pound moose crashed through the windshield of a car late Thursday and ended up sitting in the passenger seat with its head sticking through the glass.

Emergency personnel had to cut the roof off the car to extricate the moose, which was later euthanized by state environmental police because of severe injuries, police Lt. Raymond Booth said.

The driver, Juleigh McDowell, 30, was able to get out of the car under her own power and escaped serious injury, police said.

Police in Leominster, a city of about 38,000 residents about 40 miles west of Boston, had received reports of a moose in the area earlier Thursday evening, Booth said.

McDowell was simply driving along Route 12 at about 11 p.m. Thursday when the moose crossed her path, he said.

Wait...the town was actually alerted of a moose in the area? What is that like? "Attention citizens, remain calm, we have just recieved word that a moose is somewhere in the city. Stay in your homes, and do not panic."

Too bad the Moose had to be euthanized . . the woman is lucky to escape without serious injury.

Wow.....poor moose.....the story did bring to mind the deer scene from Tommy Boy, though...
